How To Test Stabilizer Conditioner Levels In Your Pool Water

Cyanuric acid is also called stabilizer, or conditioner, it helps to protect the chlorine in your pool or free chlorine from the UV rays of the sun. It protects the chlorine from just disappearing quickly. If you didn't have cyanuric acid in your pool would be going through a ton of chlorine very quickly. The first step is we make sure the testing bottle is rinsed out, add some pool water, cap and shake it up, dumping out into a separate container not back in the pool water. so we had 7mL of water, there should be an indicator line. Then you add the reagent to the 14mL mark. Then cap it, make sure that the nozzle is down, hold it and shake for about 30 seconds. What happens is that the water and the reagent mix together
and turns cloudy. The next step we're going to do is we're going to add it into the tester, if you look down the tester there's a black dot at the bottom. Keep adding the water mixed with reagent until the black dot disappears. If you still see the black dot there still after filling the tester that means we have basically zero cyanuric acid in the pool. couple things I
could throw off the test would be if you had cold water in the pool or if you have an indoor pool. If you have an indoor pool it's optional to use cyanuric acid. Usually a small amount is still recommended however without having the sunlight coming in you're not really losing that chlorine like you would with an outdoor pool.
